One thing at a time

Nov 20 2022 | Sunday

Hello, beloved reader.

There are these recurrent phases in life when, even though, on the surface, everything seems to be going like usual, it is all quite overwhelming. You just can't seem to tie all the loose ends, try as you may.

Everything seemed so topsy-turvy, and I couldn't quite put my finger on why it seemed to be so. It was only when I articulated what I was thinking and feeling, regarding this whole matter, out loud that these words—one thing at a time—came to my mind, and comforted me.

Instead of getting overwhelmed by the mountain of roles, responsibilities, expectations and ambitions that we must climb and conquer, in its entirety, it's best to take it one thing at a time, otherwise the whole thing will seem too daunting, leaving us feeling discouraged.

This bookmark looked different in the beginning. It had a lot of empty space around the words, especially on the bottom of the sheet, so I drew an aircraft with contrails behind it, that I'd seen this morning but the contrails weren't visible and the aircraft didn't look pretty so I cut the whole thing out and made it dainty like this instead.
